Y The Scoundrel returned to the Giant with all the noise of the champions. But of course, hehe return home following lifting the last League Cup was not as triumphant as expected. Rosario Central and Banfield clashed in a goalless drawwhich left more than one wondering if it wouldn’t have been better to stay home.
The stands of the Gigante de Arroyito were regarding to explode. A welcome that makes your skin crawl, typical of a team that lifted the cup in the last tournament. But the football was not as grateful as the fans, since the stadium grass became the protagonist of the game and it was very difficult to play. A shame, because Central deserved a better carpet for its triumphant return.
The teams crawled around the field. But be careful, Banfield tried to give some life to the game. There was more spark in the Drill, especially because of the trident in the left sector that seemed to have blended a little better into the context of the game.
Insúa, Rodríguez and Rivera created danger and there was good work from Milton Giménez and Emanuel Coronel from midfield forward and with greater development of offensive actions, but not much more than that in a very difficult game to analyze.
Regarding the performance of the Colombian Jaminton Campaz, one of the stars of Argentine soccer and who broke it in the last CDL, was irregular, within the average of the players in this match. He was uncomfortable, very marked by the Drill defenders who tried to cancel him and located in the sector of the field that was in the worst condition. Al Bicho seemed a little out of tune compared to the rest of his teammates, something logical, since he did not have the opportunity to do a long preseason due to his complicated departure from Gremio in Brazil.
In summary, A match that promised a party ended up being boring and both teamswho have not yet been able to add three in the tournament, have many things to improve. Surely the grass didn’t help, but the lack of creativity on both sides was the other factor. To take flight.
